Thanks, James--

In the last Excellence the market report shows my 73 914 2.0L at within $3-$5,000 to 97-99 Boxster!

This is a reflection of the relative rareness of nice 914's (were rust buckets) & the many friends, autocross records etc. that car has. Obviously related to the Boxster in concept. It is a fun car!

But what the values also show, is what a downright bargain a 97-99 Boxster is.
I had a 99 996 & that car is worth AT LEAST $10,000 more than an equivalent
99 Boxster. Is it $10,000 more car? Heck no.

I did the interior of the 930--Leather Recaros bought on E-Bay & dyed & covered the backs with matching german carpet. Das Sport Bar & aluminum kit from the UK, etc. Car also has period engine mods, etc. I do love my 930, especially when it shoots a big gout of flame out the BB pipe!
